I don't know how you do it, the realism is simply stunning. How long does something like this take you to do?

Vision: Excellent use of colors and detail. The beak is spectacular, I really love how you captured the mosaic like pattern of their beak in the sunlight. The lighting on this is great, it really brings expression to the artwork. The eye looks so real, and the scales around it really bring it to life.
Originality: No one paints these birds. No one. So I love that you chose such a unique animal to include into your gallery, I can only wish that his head was turned slightly more to the viewer, instead of a strict profile. But again, that is a very small preference, the detail you included really makes up for it, because it captures the curious almost mischievous expression of this species.
Technique: While I love the colors, and the detail of the feathers, the overall artwork seems a bit rough to me, not in the sense it looks unfinished, but the feathers look to be almost grainy. When I see these birds their feathers look slick as oil, and there are not many robust highlights to bring that out. However, the subtle lighting on this one makes up for any need for him to be improved much overall.
Impact: Overall, I love this work of yours. Maybe more than others because these birds bring back so many memories and joy from visiting the more northern beaches. Really great job, Heather!
